Holiday apartment in Solčava: Nature, trails and living tradition

Solčava offers several ways to experience the landscape, culture and traditional regional crafts. In the village, traditional events take place alongside guided trails and workshops, while the surrounding area is home to historic archaeological sites, a glacial valley and an agricultural visitor experience. This creates a varied picture combining nature, time-honoured customs and specific local offerings.

Culture and tradition

The Bicka Sheep Wool Festival includes demonstrations of wool processing and felt-making workshops. Bicka’s culinary specialities at Center Rinka are also part of the festival. The 14th edition of the Bicka Sheep Wool Festival was announced for September in Solčava. Alongside this festival, the annual calendar features the Solčavski dnevi, which have traditionally taken place every year in July in Solčava since 1992. The programme of the Solčavski dnevi included a hike along the water route in Solčava. The present-day sanctuary, built between 1461 and 1485, also adds a historical dimension.

Nature and trails

In the area around Solčava, Robanov kot is a glacial valley in the Upper Savinja Valley. Also in the vicinity of Solčava, Potočka zijavka on Mount Olševa is a Palaeolithic archaeological site containing remains of Ice Age animals and prehistoric artefacts. Geological landscapes and traces of the distant human past are thus connected to the surroundings of Solčava in different ways.

A guided cycling tour along the Solčava Panoramic Road starts at Center Rinka in Solčava. The circular trail to the Solčava yew tree also starts at Center Rinka; its stated duration is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. The two offerings therefore provide different ways to explore the landscape: one by guided bicycle tour and the other on a circular trail with an indicated approximate duration.

Local offerings

At Atelje Franc and Liza in Solčava, a wool-felting workshop using local Solčava wool is offered. There, the wild-plant workshop includes collecting and tasting herbs. In addition, Atelje Franc and Liza offers a two-hour mindfulness walk through nature. Crafts, plant knowledge and a walk with a clearly defined duration are thus part of different formats within the same local offering.

In the area around Solčava, Eko Kmetija Ramšak offers a visitor experience focused on processing organic cow’s milk, with optional tasting of homemade organic products. The visit combines processing the raw material with the opportunity to taste homemade organic products, with the tasting expressly being optional.
